Artist: Sufjan Stevens

This version was played at the Crystal Ball Room in Portland
Tuning: Standard
This is the part which is played initially by the piano, then the trumpet and finally
it's the guitar solo towards the end. They are all pretty much the exact same thing so I
will tab it once here so you can do what you like with it. It's always played when the chords are F Am G G

[Verse - F C Am D]
Snowbird, your sister said she needed me, la la dee dah
Show them first, show them what you did for me, la la dee dah
Quiet sound, and little soldier sent beneath
And epaulets that covered every shoulder
Call it sweet come take
Forget the things I said, to please
[Chorus - F C Am D]
Is it the right word you designed for me'
Is it the broken word or good advice i need'
Is the tapestry set beneath my wings'
Is it mysterious, glorious' Indeed.
